2022 college football storylines we're already looking forward to

...but it appears James Madison will begin its own transition to Sun Belt membership this coming season.

JMU was a big get for the Sun Belt. The Dukes went 70-11 from 2016 to '21, winning the 2016 FCS title and losing close games to North Dakota State deep in the playoffs in 2017, 2019 and 2021. Their investment levels are strong, and they finished second in my FCS SP+ ratings this year with a rating that, adjusted for FBS, would have ranked fifth in the Sun Belt. While they had a number of seniors on the 2021 squad, head coach Curt Cignetti is adding some intriguing players via the transfer portal. James Madison won't be eligible for a Sun Belt title for a while, but it should immediately look like a sturdy FBS team and a midlevel Sun Belt squad. Welcome, Dukes!

you guys are going to become our ECU ... or are ya?!

to good times down whatever row-add is paved....

Congrats Dukes!

The good is you're ready and in great shape to compete. The bad is once you get here you'll be rapped and pillaged so often it'll be hard to catch your breath. BUT you're in a good spot. It's the Sun Belt so precisely perfectly located in the most fertile region in the country your new brothers will tote the water while you recover.

Let’s get it, Dukes!

Just remember. ESPN LOVES JMU... Time to kick some SBC butt haha...should be loads of fun belt time!

Anyone else picture a pirate with a microphone?
